Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Little Banquet
After sending away the great beauty Yin Susu, Lin Yu changed his clothes and went into the kitchen, and Qingqing, who wanted to help, was rushed to the main hall by Lin Yu to accompany the guests. You must know that Lu Dao Qingqing entered the Hou Mansion at the age of eleven, and when he was twelve years old, he was an errand boy by Mrs. Lin's side, not to mention cooking, and the level of fire burning was not as good as Comrade Xiaobai.
When Lin Yu entered, the diligent Aunt Lin was helping to wash the vegetables, and was invited back to the front hall by Lin Yu. And the eldest young master Bai Feiruo had already cut the meat, and was squatting in front of the stove to light the fire, and the appearance of hanging his head with his luxurious clothes was quite funny.
"Did you see that big beauty just now?" Thinking of Yin Susu's strange subtle sigh, Lin Yu couldn't help but ask Bai Feiruo, "Do you know each other?" ”
"To see is to see." Bai Feiruo didn't seem to care very much, "It's just too beautiful, as for whether you know or not, do you still need to ask?" ”
Do you really know? Lin Yu looked at Bai Feiruo and Yin Susu's faces that were so imaginary. Relatives? So why don't you say hello?
Unexpectedly, Bai Feiruo raised his head and looked at Lin Yu with a very contemptuous look, "I know that your memory is not as good as mine, but I didn't expect it to be so bad." I told you a long time ago, the day I met Sister Qingqing was the second day I came to the capital, how could I know it. ”
Stinky boy, you are so proud, Lin Yu thought hatefully, although my sister and I don't have the ability to forget like you, I also graduated from a famous university. Have you memorized the recipes and smelting processes of 278 alloys?
It's a pity that this kind of thing can't be said, but Lin Yu also has other ways, aren't you a knife worker? There is just dried tofu, and today I will temporarily make dried shredded Yangzhou and cut you to death.
Because Lin Yu is not a serious cook, although Yangzhou dried shreds can also be made, cutting dried shreds will be very time-consuming and troublesome for her, because she is not skilled, so she originally did not plan to do this. But after Bai Feiruo cut five catties of mutton, he mastered the difference between knife work in cooking and knife skills in martial arts, and was proud of his super talent, and he had no objection to the work arranged by Lin Yu, so he naturally didn't know the difficulty of it.
Lin Yu smiled secretly in his heart, because of the cold weather, the meat is basically frozen, but it is actually easier to cut, but it is not so easy to dry the shreds. Lin Yu also had a heart to show off, and even played an extraordinary role to make a small piece of dried tofu out of twenty-four slices, exceeding her previous record of twenty-one pieces, and the thickness was uniform. Compared with sliced dried tofu, it is much easier to shred, and Lin Yu quickly cut out snow-white tofu shreds like thick velvet threads. When placed in a bowl filled with clear water, a handful of shredded tofu blooms in the water like a snow lotus, making it very elegant and beautiful.
"Just cut it like this, cut it and it's almost there, cut it and put it in the water, I'll deal with it later." Lin Yu took about a pound of dried tofu to the board. "If it's broken, just go over there and get it in the drawer."
Although Bai Feiruo admired Lin Yu's craftsmanship at first, he was still a little unconvinced, but he didn't expect to know the difficulty of Lu Dao when he really started. Because dried tofu is not as hard as frozen meat, nor is it pure soft, but tough, and the force is even, and the cut is not too thick, or it is broken in the middle. Even if he didn't consider the problem of uneven thickness, Lin Yu tried a few times and found that if it were him, it seemed that he would not be able to achieve that thickness no matter what.
"You know the way, there is a specialization in the art industry, although you have super talent, Xiaobai, don't look down on people easily." Lin Yu saw that he had cut off more than half of the dried tofu, so he came over and smiled.
"Don't speak in the tone of an elder, you seem to be younger than me." Although Bai Feiruo listened, he still retorted awkwardly.
Tell you to look down on me, now admit defeat Looking at Bai Feiruo's wrinkled little face, Lin Yu was actually laughing wildly in his heart. From this point of view, Lin Yu is actually not much more mature than Bai Feiruo.
"Forget it, in fact, the ones you cut the last are also okay." Lin Yu laughed at Bai Feiruo in his heart before he spoke, "Just cut it like that, it's quite thin." ”
In fact, Lin Yu suspected that this kid left home to study because he was in adolescence, and his master and father couldn't take care of it, so he let him wander outside. After knowing each other for so long, Lin Yu also knows that this kid is basically quite sensible, his IQ is terrifying, his martial arts seem to be very high, and he knows medical skills, so he doesn't have to worry about safety.
The morning passed so noisily, and with the help of Bai Feiruo, a vegetable cutter, Lin Yu made six dishes, plus hot pot and two dim sum.
Because of the heavy taste of the hot pot, the dishes are light and homely, including sweet and spicy Wufu rolls, honey hawthorn rouge lotus root, steamed pork belly with rice noodles, nine silk soup (that is, Yangzhou dried silk), pepper and salt chicken fillet, and hot and sour fish fillet. The hot pot is a mandarin duck hot pot with a high soup base, but unfortunately due to the times and seasons, the side dishes are not too rich, the meat is fine, and the green vegetables are relatively few. The staple food is Lady Lin's specialty ramen and hand-rolled noodles, and the dim sum is flower-shaped bean paste buns and red date crystal cake. I'm afraid that everyone will get hot after eating the hot pot, and the tea with it is Tieguanyin, because the people sitting there don't drink much, so they just put a bottle of green plum wine on the table, a bottle of lotus white, all of which are low-degree sake.
Another disadvantage of being a chef is that you can't synchronize with other people's meals, and when it was almost time to start serving the dishes seriously, Lin Yu drove Bai Feiruo, a guest, out of the house. After the six dishes were served and the hot pot was served, Lin Yu sat down at the table, thinking that everyone had already eaten a round, but he didn't expect to move his chopsticks.
Facing Lin Yu's surprised gaze, Old Doctor Lin touched his beard and smiled, "The host hasn't come yet, so it's not easy for the guests to have a banquet." Besides, I'm waiting for you to toast my guest. ”
Lin Yu's heart warmed, he smiled, poured a glass of wine, and was just about to speak, but his eyes were red unconsciously, and he settled down before he said.
"All of you here are my Lin Yu's great benefactors, and I don't thank you for my great kindness, but I will do it first as a respect." As he spoke, Lin Yu got up and tilted his neck, and poured a glass of wine neatly.
Everyone here knows the story of Lin Yu or Lin Ruoyu, others are okay, Qingqing recalled the despair of running around a month ago, and looked at the friends who could make friends although there were not many, and remembered the life that was gradually settling down now, and her eyes were red.
She poured a glass of wine, stood up and said, "I don't want to be rich and rich, I just hope that everyone's life can be better and better in the future, and the family will be safe and happy." ”
After speaking, she also drank it all in one gulp, she didn't drink well, and after drinking a glass of light wine, she felt a fever in her cheeks, and her heart was beating suddenly, so she didn't drink more. However, Lin Yu accidentally drank a lot of wine. Because her little life was indeed saved by Bai Feiruo's accidental appearance, Dr. Lin's noble medical ethics, and most importantly, Qingqing's unwavering indefatigability, so she respected everyone.
Lin Yu didn't drink much, and after drinking a circle, he began to blush, and he continued to toast. Although Doctor Lin was also moved in his heart, he didn't want her to drink too much, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Xiaoyu doesn't need to come to these polite things, you Uncle Lin I don't like to drink, I drank the first cup, and this second cup will spare me." We're not outsiders, so let's have a good meal. ”
Lin Yu gave up, and then introduced today's dishes to you, and several people were very interested in listening to it. As an elder and a guest, Dr. Lin moved his chopsticks first.
"Yo, this shredded tofu is so finely cut, it can almost give your aunt a needle." Old Doctor Lin was very surprised when he looked at the dried dried silk of Yangzhou in front of him, and as he spoke, he picked up a dried shredded chopsticks and put it into his mouth, his face changed slightly, and he swallowed it for a long time before asking, "This is shredded tofu?" Why is it so delicious? ”
